From
Penny Pincher to " Coupon Queen "

You've heard the the old saying"Nothing in
life is free" right? Well not anymore. My name is Melissa Garcia and I
am a mother of two children ,Taylor my daughter and Ryan my son. I got
married in 1995 and we decided to have our first child 6 months
after.Thats when my husband and I decided that I was going to be a stay
at home mom. My husband bought us a computer and soon we got the
internet. Boy did that open a whole new world to me! I soon started
chatting with moms who clipped coupons,sent in refunds and frequented
freebie boards.
My husband thought I was silly. The first month I would save over half
on my grocery bill, the second month I was bringing home receipts
showing him how I got stuff free at the grocery store. I think he must
have feel out of his chair when the third month came along and I came
home and the store actually had to pay me to shop there (sitting here
laughing and reminicing all these memories while writing this).
Well friends and relatives start asking how are you doing this? So of
course I got them started and then eventually started my own website
online! My site started out small but quickly grew to over 2,000 people
now both men and women and we are growing larger everyday.
Everything is growing so quickly that even my children have stepped
into help. My children set down with me and help me sort, staple
& cut my coupons. They are learning the value of saving money.
Of course daughter is picking up on it faster than my my son. Ryan will
say mom can we get that and Taylor will say "Not unless mom has a
coupon for it" LOL!! I do alot for people and Im very envolved in my
childrens activities. Im one of those people who can't say no LOL and
sometimes I feel stressed and under appreciated. I know there are other
people out there like me and that is another reason why I started this
website. Everyone I know calls me the "Coupon Queen".. My husband is so
proud of me that he carries a picture around of me standing next to my
free stuff!!.Why even our local news station has called me to do
SEVERAL interviews which you can see at http://www.channeloklahoma.com
(do a search for coupon queen) My dream now is to go on the "Oprah
Show"!!!
We will be starting some coupon classes and also hope to get involved
with the battered womens shelters soon!! We hope this gets you as much
enjoyment and money savings tips as we do!!
ABOUT OUR SITE:
On our site you can learn how to get FREE stuff from Major companys
online with no strings attached!! My mailbox is always filled with
goodies. Also did you know there are online sites that will give you
FREE Gift Certificates just for registering and visiting there online
merchants, no purchase necessary!! I have gotten FREE gift certificates

I tell people how to look for offers in grocery stores from major
companies offering free stuff like FREE Movie Tickets just for sending
in upc's from their products.Dont forget getting your groceries at 70
to 80% off using coupons! We show you how to get the best deals!
We also have a shoppers alert board Where people post about good deals
they find online like office max offering a $20 off any $20 purchase
you just pay shipping. Target is one of our favorites. We teach women
how to REALLY shop targets clearance section. We are usually the first
ones to find the deals as sometimes we find out about stuff thats on
clereance before its even marked!!! You should see my gift closet. I
already have most of my Christmas shopping done!! We help each other
out when we find an amazing clearance sale like $60 karioke machine
that I got for $9 or the $100 pokemon gameboys that were not marked
clereance but rang up $10 or $15!!!!!

and many other items!! My family and friends call me the FRUGAL
